• Mr. Dunny : [opening lines]  Now, class, in order for you to become members of the driving community, you're going to have to actually read and memorize this.

  [displays driver handbook] 

  Jasmine : Guys, listen to this. Left turn from a two-way street onto a one-way street, right turn from a one-way street to a two-way street.

  [sighs] 

  Jasmine : This is supposed to make sense?

  Cher Horowitz : Jas, you just transferred here from New York...

  [becomes voiceover:] 

  Cher Horowitz : I think she is still a little jet-lagged.

  Sean Holiday : Ah, Mr. Dunny, when I get to a T-intersection, am I allowed to make a U-turn, because that's two different letters?

  [class laughs] 

  Mr. Dunny : I know this might seem complicated, and I wish I had a lot of big, fuzzy puppets to explain it to you all, but I don't, so instead, we're just gonna go straight to our first training film, Wheels of Tragedy.

• Cher Horowitz : Maybe this driving thing isn't as easy as it looks.

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : I never thought it looked easy.

  Cher Horowitz : By the way, did you notice that Queenie was noticably absent today?

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Absolutely chicken.

  Cher Horowitz : So obviously tipped off about the film festival.

  Amber Mariens : [arriving]  Oh, did I miss Wheels of Tragedy? Sorry I was late, I had a little appointment at the DMV... where I picked up... this!

  [laughingly showing off driver's license] 

  Amber Mariens : It goes perfectly with the new car Daddy bought me.

  Cher Horowitz : [surprised]  You got your license?

  Amber Mariens : Yes, so I'm sorry, I won't be able to join you in your little

  [patronizing gesture] 

  Amber Mariens : film society.

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : How did you do this? You just turned sixteen last week.

  Amber Mariens : Practice. Daddy's been letting me drive since I was twelve.

  Cher Horowitz : Isn't that illegal?

  Amber Mariens : [scoffs]  We just drive on our own property. I mean, who's going to arrest us, the landscaper?

  [laughs] 

  Amber Mariens : Oh, well, now the freeway is my oyster. And while you pedestrians are scrambling around trying to find a ride, I will be driving

  [crows with joy] 

  Amber Mariens : to all the parties, and handsome men will snap to my command. Oh, I can't wait to use valet!

  [giggles merrily, goes off] 

  Amber Mariens : Fun!

  Jasmine : This should be new for her, sitting in the front seat.

  Cher Horowitz : You know, guys, this puts us under serious pressure.

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Ah, please, if she can do this. we can do it. All we have to do, is practice.

  [they all go off, Cher follows with a sigh] 

• Mr. Dunny : [at stop sign]  Okay, now we are just going to sit here and wait patiently for these cars to clear.

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Which cars? Oh, I hate this! This whole intersection thing is lame!

  Jasmine : [leaning over from back seat]  Okay. Dee, first of all, calm down. Okay?

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Okay.

  Jasmine : Right. Do you see the cars there on your left-hand side?

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Yeah.

  Jasmine : What you're gonna do, is you're gonna wait for them to clear...

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Mm.

  Jasmine : ...and then you're gonna show 'em your business, babe. Just go on ahead.

  [Dee waits, the cars clear] 

  Jasmine : Okay. Okay, go!

  [Dee's well-heeled foot hits the gas pedal, and the car pulls away, executing a perfect turn] 

• Mr. Dunny : [waiting for learner driver to pull away]  Okay, Cher, the coast is clear, let's go!

  [no response] 

  Mr. Dunny : Cher?

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : Come on, Cher, you are fully capable.

  [as Cher stammers an excuse, reminding her:] 

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : I did it.

  Jasmine : Cher, are you feeling a little un-confident?

  Mel Horowitz : [his angry face in Cher's mind]  Never again, Cher, never again!

  Cher Horowitz : [defeated look]  I, uhm... I'm feeling kinda car-sick. I don't think I can drive... today. I can't drive today.

  [gets out of the car] 

• Murray : [in class, handing her Jasmine's driver's license]  Cher, check it out.

  Cher Horowitz : [sadly envious]  That's a very flattering photo, Jasmine.

  Jasmine : Thanks.

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : [entering, showing off her license card]  I came, I saw,

  [with a jubilant jump:] 

  Dionne "Dee" Davenport : I am driving!
